Yeah, I try to save in as many ways as I can. Well, first up, I make sure lights that are not in use are turned off. I try not to use the airconditioning unit when it's not hot. Instead of ironing every piece of clothing in sight, I try to iron only those that really look crumpled. Ironing takes up a lot of kilowatts. =) Have you tried using energy saving devices? they help... =)

I try to save energy to help the invironment and to cut down on the bills.
There are several ways to do this, and these are the once I use:
1) Replacing regular light bulbs with special bulbs that save energy and are more healthy for the environment.
2) Taking shorter showers or taking showers together with your partner.
3) Not leaving lights on when you are not in the room or when it's not necceasiry (this goes basicly for any type of electric device like television, pc, etc.).
4) Use candles every now and then as a different source of light, it created a great ambiance too.
5) When buying new electric deviced read the energy label and get the once that are rated A or at least as high as one can afford; you'll earn it back in no time.
6) Upgrade your boiler to a better one that uses less energy.
Thanks!

I do what I can to save energy. Since I am rarely ever at home, I don't use a lot o electricity in he house. I don't have cable either, or the internet at home, so I really only go home to sleep. I spend he rest of my time in the coee shop where there is inexpensive wireless internet/

I definitely am trying harder now with the energy price so high. Even before the price started sky rocketing I also try pretty hard to save energy. It's not easy to meet all the bill payments with my miserable salary.
I'll go around my home switching off all unused appliances at the socket. We also try to be in the same room so that we don't need so many lights. Air con is reserved for the hottest days only. Fans are good enough for most days.

YES, for the resouse we can use in the future are decreasing sharply. especially the water. With the development of industries ,much fresh water has been polutioned. i even do not know if we have fresh water to drink in 50years later.
The bad thing i can not endure is water wasting. i will turn of the tap after use. and my heart bleeding when i see the water are running from the tap when no one there.
